Sounds like ARMA, walk for an hour and get shot from God knows where. Just like real life!

We have a family premium plan and I still got this message. Guess I'll cancel YouTube Premium now...

I get most of the content I want via patreon anyway now.

It never feels like yours when you can be removed on a whim. Not having a place to call home is super taxing. Even a mobile home is a home, for most of our history we suspect we were nomadic mostly. But we took home with us and it was ours.

Every six months some 18 year old.walks through my house and judges how I live. I have to hassle some psycho REA to perform basic repairs, I have no agency.

It shouldn't be shocking that it wears on our psychology.

I have a dope camp set up, with a nice setup for small cooking. I regularly go out, on my own, and spend days away in the desert or the forests nearby. In those moments, I feel a relief that I don't get at home in my rental. I own my 4x4, I own my solar panels and portable battery banks, I own my tent and so on.

Even though it's meagre compared to the house I live in, it's mine.

I pointed out that the Australian subreddits were being very obviously astro-turfed. And then I made a post naming the Aus PR companies that were openly running bot campaigns on Reddit and who was using them.

That account got banned in record fucking time lol. And no reason was given either, it was a site-wide IP ban. Luckily one call to my ISP and that was sorted lol.

The worst part is it you have enough family members who used these services your details are likely on there too.

Is there a joke in the comic anywhere? This is just an average morning in consulting.

I mean things can get way worse. Look at Canada and Australia. No sign of a crash in either yet, prices just keep climbing. Homeless encampments and the like were alien to us up until recently. The median Aussie household income is ~$65,000. Homes start at about $600,000 and at that price a lot of them are teardowns, you'd be spending at least $200,000 in repairs.

Banks want 20% down.

It is scary, definitely.

I rent a nice house, I'm lucky. I've also not had a holiday in over a decade...

We're past the point where we can stop it wholesale.

We already have aquifers barely holding on, we've lost major sources of fresh water already.

I'm all for climate action, but we also need to starting developing technologies for living in the bed we've made.

Folks keep talking about climate change like it's some future event. You are living through it right now.

Devices like this are a lifeline for communities in developing nations. Who are the first and worst affected by water shortages and salt water intrusions into their fresh water sources.

I dropped everything in my twenties to look after a dying family member.

Thought my family would support me when all was said and done. I left a very promising career to do this.

Everyone just kind of went their seperate ways and I almost ended up homeless. While my dad immediately found another woman, took all his money and fucked off.

I'm just starting to recover almost a decade later.

I'm kind these days, I think. But I'm not nice.

I just made the jump again and I don't think I'll be going back to Windows. I'm getting improved performance in many of my favourite titles.

Very happy to be free of windows finally.

I mean I'll create an account and then block any of that data sharing on my router.

My whole house I sent up with Hue lights.

I'm Australian and I'll be contacting the ACCC.
